oh. no. no. when terror attacks in spain thirteen are dead after a plowed into them in barcelona several others are injured as police for a similar attack in a town to the south police this lunchtime are hunting for a seventeen year old they believe was the driver meantime happening right now this is barcelona a minute's silence is being observed near. spain mourns the victims of thursday's atrocity there. the terrorism is the latest in

a series of attacks in which vehicles have been used to strike terror in europe echoing incidents in france germany and in the u.k. since last summer. our daughter was in the but. she still is still in. the attack is being linked to an explosion in our house earlier this week in a suspected bomb making factory facility leading to questions over whether more could have been done to prevent last night's killings. and his art international with me kevin though in this hour as you've heard one story you're just tuning in spain this friday in shock after last evening's terror in multiple locations that we take you through it the country is in jewett in fact its deadliest attacks in thirteen years and one of barcelona's most popular. the

tourist streets thirteen died when a van was driven deliberately into pedestrians and a place called last ramblas also to the south of the result in a place called campbell's seven people including a police officer were injured as security forces forces thought of what could have been much worse a similar attack they feared all five terrorists involved they were shot dead islamic state claims to be behind the terrorism but no direct link has been established horrifying video has been posted of the aftermath online a word of warning the images were about to show you very disturbing before you show you that we're just showing you the end of what's happening very close to what happened last night in barcelona the minute silence saw the prime minister there are. live pictures a save people remembering those dead and those injured and it could have been such a close call as well in another location as we were hearing there were those terrorists were shot ok let's go back then to those disturbing aftermath pictures

as a say i must warn you again some of the images and shots coming up here are upsetting . i. i i i i i. i i. i i i i i i i. i. and i saw many people running i saw recovered bodies of kids lying in the streets this is a tragedy. you. saw an avalanche of people running in every direction now and i mean it was a total chaos we had no idea what was going on and on and i didn't see the man i just heard of. sound and people screaming.

and the. people in the floor i saw the blood he was. very well down on the street like it's crazy it's going to scream for us. so the development spanish police have now identified a man they believed was the driver of the valley the barcelona attack he's a seventeen year old his name. he's still at large is the main thing this lunchtime these suspected driver is understood to be the brother of one of three arrested men earlier you see on the screen drifts who had himself into police after being named on t.v. he claims his documents were used to rent the vehicle in the attack but he says they were taken from him here's how events unfolded in barcelona last evening

around about five pm and bring it on a map then a white van was driven into people literally on a popular pedestrian a street called last round as there it is that's the direction where the band started and where we're at and it will talk about in a minute the victims were from at least twenty four countries that went for around five hundred meters to reach the plaza book area where the driver then fled on foot he's the one still at loose at his cape partridges in barcelona with more for you. yes i'm standing here in placer catalonia right at the edge of where the last rambler starts which is the main road that connects plus a castle and you're right in the center here of barcelona games and see the statue of christopher columbus down by the sea it's a it's a route that so many people have walked so many tourists so many locals for so many years and yet it turned into a place of such devastation and tragedy and terror on thursday night meanwhile waking up here in barcelona we haven't had a lost sleep and neither have all of the press sample to hear and they're all in a state of shock as are the people all around. when you get

a taxi when you're walking round it's not the barcelona that i remember very much as a student it's very subdued it's very quiet it's very respectful and last night after we visited one of the hospitals where the injured had been taken we looked across at last and saw that it was completely cordoned off we saw the police officers standing there we saw the police cars guarding the way it was an eerie quiet totally silent unlike and unlike now i'm less which is always full of people to respond to queue at this time if year and as you can hear by some of these people's expressions what they were saying just what kind of shock is be my sense of how unbelievable the tragedy that has unfolded here in barcelona. nothing like that ever happened to me i hope that they find the perpetrators and everything will be all right i feel incredibly lucky and we do consider that luck just continues shopping it's just so nice to be out there we just are now will go back and catch up with other friends that decision was just crucial and i just can't believe that

we did that and we when the system is set in so well as the people of barcelona come to terms with what happens here we're waiting from updates from the police and from the also arches as well about the number have people who sadly died and also the injured and also about the police manhunt that is underway for the driver who's still at large. as i mentioned earlier just a few hours after the attack in barcelona there was another instant hundred twenty kilometers to the south of the resort a place called brill's the police opened fire on a car after it failed to stop of a security check six civilians and a police officer were injured before all five terrorists were shot dead so it's hard to imagine what could have happened if they weren't or if they got away with what their plan was sounds like a close call our correspondent daniel hoare from within a particular incident like a very close call the police managed to kill those terrorists there it looks like though this kind of thing could be part of a bigger picture signal more and more across europe in the. kevin these attacks all

strikingly similar hallmarks we've seen it time and time again minimal planning preparation. required to carry these attacks out homegrown equipment terrorists easy to avoid security services because of the lack of need to buy explosives or weapons that use cause for their attacks targeting ultimately soft targets for a crowded areas defenseless civilians very hard to stop this for police when the attack has begun already and of course maximizing these casualties to a deadly effect we saw yesterday when traveling at speeds of a ticket almost as an hour weaving in and out of crowds trying to kill and maim as many people responsible truly seems there and of course this spanish attack is just part of a series as you say that we've seen particular over the last year to eighteen months happening on the continent let's take a look back at some of the timeline of these tragedies.

i. i. i. i. i. now a lot of people have drawn a clear foreign policy link between these attacks and. foreign policy spain however is very interesting because of course spain last fall victim back in two thousand and four two in the midst terror of the two thousand and four madrid train bombings that the big impact on the election at the time the prime minister the ingoing prime minister withdrew spanish troops from iraq as a direct result since then there's been no attacks but this really goes to show why

so fulfilled their pledge of targeting westerners in every major european city this really is not such a cross border threat we've seen some examples striking examples of families finding themselves falling victim multiple times to terror attacks regardless of where they travel to on the continent the specter of terrorism really haunting them wherever they go scott atran one eyewitness we spoke to his daughter was actually caught up in the back to plan attacks if you remember in the twenty fifteen in paris of course he found himself right in the center of this attack in barcelona that of course brought back some pretty horrific memories this is what you told us . because i was just bringing my niece. didn't know what was going to happen my daughter was in the but. she's still still here. reconcile herself was staying in a room. that's not the only example kevin the one resident of manchester we

understand chris paul he narrowly escaped being caught up in the match rena attack just a couple of months back and he was nearby again when that violent plowing through the crowds of people on the boulevard there on the promenade in barcelona. after the nice attack in twenty sixteen the prime minister at the time and all valves if you remember he said france is now living with a new reality of terror that crime attracted a lot of criticism a lot of controversy but really this now the whole of europe is living with a new reality even countries that are not involved in inventions and conflicts in the middle east this really is very much a new reality for the whole continent to many people will be questioning their safety yeah it does seem to be we will supply. you stop this kind of thing is a low tape but deadly one to exactly thanks for that for now let's just check out the box on the screen there you see. we always put it on the screen that's what's happened to there we go take it full screen let's but ten minutes ago residents

friends loved ones just people happened to be in barcelona holding a one minute silence a tribute to what is would have been mid day there was just after one of the afternoon here in moscow we saw the catalonia square nearby to those atrocities last night we saw the prime minister the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy and also king felipe of spain. paying their respects to the thirteen that died there nearby in last round bliss also of course to the injured in another event nearby campbell's to the south couple one hundred kilometers away with seven people including a police officer injured as security through security forces thwarted most crucially what looks like could have been another severe attack but all those terrorists were killed there. five of them shot dead but worth bearing in mind the driver of that van what happened in las ramblas last night allegedly that driver

a seventeen year old still on the loose a big manhunt for him this lunchtime but what you seeing there people remembering the friends family loved ones of the people that perished last night in a beautiful city in the center of europe. something experts we've been talking to describe the spate of vehicle attacks as dharma saying just as a new reality within europe with people increasingly in the live with the threat of terrorism these days. i think people have to open their eyes that each week perhaps if these past two weeks ago it was true and you asked me to france this week spain or i think no european country and out what talking about europe but there are similar attacks elsewhere in the mcgrath in the middle east no country can say it's safe from such an attack today so this is widespread unfortunately each month we're discovering that this can happen in a new country in a new place in a new town so this is. none the mayor said he had said we had to get used to this

the french president read all my cross at the same thing and unfortunately they seem to be right can you imagine the millions of cars who are running in the streets of the world and have special means for any given location space i think it's extremely difficult if they have arrived on this means that they're on the scene that means are quite well organized of course this is also the center the most touristic part of barcelona it's very difficult how do you fight how do you stop someone sharing is ramming his van and truck a vehicle in the crowd this is extremely difficult but they do have to be prepared i think they have to be prepared to arrive on location as quick as possible of course to stop the criminals are the terrorists as soon as possible if they're so alive and of course to bring to evacuate the people to give them medical help to bring them out to hospitals and there will be more and more training within the different police as in europe and military of course. reacts to such attacks because they are becoming more than common three attacks in three weeks. and

there's another layer to this too police are also linking the attacks to a blast of wednesday night in a house in a small town not far from barcelona that was initially thought to be in a gas leak but now police say it was a homemade explosive device that destroyed the building former british intelligence officer only spoke to us about all this earlier on she says the authorities she thinks did have all the necessary information but that painterly attack is slipped through the net. and had capability and the will to. intelligence information of the nation. building. one time again pretty much every lone wolf. in north america across europe and in australia this was. always already going on. but you know what happened is there's so much information out there. and think. that actually they're

not really out. there not doing the prevent intelligence war. operation to stop that's what they have this is the big database stuff and it happened walling. campbell. but then they can find out. that and say that this is not intelligent people say on the street you know french people don't want to give them you don't say what space so in the aftermath of condolences of being sent to spain from around the world with a hashtag pray for barcelona trending on social networks among the reaction u.s. leader donald trump has condemned the terror attack and outlined his readiness to help the european commission president john claude labeled the attack cowardly for targeting ordinary people enjoying life as he put it french president menem across said nations remain united and determined treason made the british prime minister said the u.k.

stands with spain against terror the russian press. expressed his condolences as well he denounced the attack as a cynical crime and called for unity in the fight against global terror can see that's the comment on the screen there from the duma printed. will continue to. continues for the seventeen year old terror suspect this lunchtime is believed to be the driver who killed thirteen last night in barcelona.

it's not.

now ti's campaigning to help orphans stranded in war torn iraq to find their relatives and return home they were taken there by radicalized parents who joined islamic state we're continuing our appeal for family members who might recognize the youngsters to get in touch with us and some relatives i can tell you have already been found but there's a long way to go many are still waiting to. this was a little. bit just. a little. bit of a little. more

subtle. because. the little girl you saw on the end there will be this is a grandmother of my shoulder she recognized will marry him after we were four who don't apply yesterday and going touch following our pale lips or trying to scope more about that. imagine being a grandmother whose children and grandchildren once vanished and never came back

home at least you hope they're ok thanks to a couple videos sent from unknown phone numbers. yes. they did they aborted it don't live yes yes it was you then someone shows you a t.v. report. where your main granddaughter says her mother's been shot dead this could turn out to be the exact fate of. the question to which it had. nothing to do it. for. a moment use of the. body yet eager look at the last up during us go at it soon you know your son you know. and i am so she's desperate to prove the girl we filmed in baghdad is indeed her granddaughter having lost her once and being in the dark about merriam's whereabouts for over three years. she didn't stand up to her guns are says sure.

that kara was financial yesterday most of us have connection with maryam and her parents was completely lost for a while until the family got a phone call from an unknown number that to me was she. chairs five people that is not what i'm trying to achieve it's an attention getter good enough the stuff since then only mysterious calls a few times a year at one point even a bit of video. for you to listen here. to show they got a bright future ahead in the land of jihad but we already know that wasn't the case . now that put the mobs the gries just a step away from bringing her granddaughter back home after all the horrors we let

her record a message to. come. here i said here is a i. guess. well you know how they get all that another events in iraq the country's prime minister has acknowledged that security forces abused prisoners during the operation to oust ice and insurgents from mosul crucially many were terrorist suspects who face trial please be aware that some graphic images are about to be shown.

cation was launched after a photographer released pictures of the torture suspects were beaten raped and tortured to death we talked to the photographer. earlier when the images candlelight first he described what he saw close up. i thought they were heroes yes they were so brave fighting on the frontlines every day but then i saw the other side the torture the raping the killing first they didn't want me to film the torture and other bad stuff it affected me my psychology and i kept thinking about the torture of those people and their suffering it got worse and worse and after five weeks it became so horrible they decided to publish everything. and it.

was. i know it was unbearable but i made myself continue to film because they knew it was important to torture people and kill them over and over what we heard this morning that the foreign secretary the foreign minister jeffery has requested. assistance of the u.n. to look into. this committed and more so and that is good another positive steps because iraq do need to assistance from the un and we can feel that maybe some of the pressure has been put on the government to take any fake take further and frustration into a matter which is we find a very positive that's what we're looking for from the government of iraq is to look into this kind of incident to to to to a cease and also to take people into people accountable about this incidence. how different will be here in half an hour with the latest updates on what has now

turned into a europe wide manhunt for the teenager who spanish police believed to be behind the wheel when thirty people were killed in barcelona i'm kevin zero in this is our to international thanks for choosing us for your live news update this. morning and one million people died. killed. even dangerous. now no one's come too late to choose a few families randomly and that's. when

the make this manufactured consensus public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final. gifts and be the one percent. in the middle of the room six. north korea and the united states that downed from a military stand off what happens next we'll get perspective from the former

secretary of defense william cohen on this edition of politics. says. the politicking on larry king for nearly a week north korea and the united states stood on the brink of military action punctuated by a bellicose rhetoric from president trump and kim jong un. north korea has since backed down from the standoff but for how long what happens next talk about that with an old friend william cohen the former secretary of defense and under president bill clinton former senator from maine long before that one of the first republicans to speak out against richard nixon but also get his perspective on the controversies involving the current occupant of the white house he joins us from washington d.c. william last time you are with us you talked about donald trump and about you know being a little uncomfortable with him making decisions for we talk about north korea based

on the events of charlottesville in the last few days how do you feel. well i obviously was disappointed i wasn't terribly surprised to tell you the truth and i think what you saw most recently was the president speaking from his heart what he really thinks and what he really feels and not by reading it from a script i think whenever he's reading from a script or a teleprompter that those don't necessarily reflect his true feelings and i think he that is true feelings come out just yesterday and unfortunately he failed to distinguish between the neo nazis or the nazis or the white supremacists and put them on the same level as the anti-fascists i don't know anybody on the left to his profile but nonetheless i think a failure to condemn anyone who's carrying hitler's flag as.
